Superman "Men of Steel" - Rebirth Complete Story | Comicstorian

[@RogueCrocodile]

Every time you say mysterio Clark I expect to see Clark with a fishbowl helmet.

[@pranjalbudhrani366]

Ginger Twerk but then how would he use his heat vision

[@mastershake-yf7oi]

Ginger Twerk that's what I think too.

[@kyleshea384]

With the glasses somehow outside the fishbowl

[@thetruesir1003]

Ginger Twerk happy to see I'm not the only one!

[@KaleidoscopeWillow55]

Yep

[@TheShadowKiller97]

I really liked the scene where both agreed on a fresh start. That really is Superman: someone who believes in the good of mankind, and in second chances.

[@spectraphantom9374]

Yeah but that's not realistic

[@TheShadowKiller97]

Spectra Phantom dude, its an alien who can fly and reproduce with humans! Who the fuck cares about realism?!

[@spectraphantom9374]

TheShadowKiller97 Well I was talking about a movie translation of it. I thought your comment was taking shots at man of steel and batman v superman

[@TheShadowKiller97]

Spectra Phantom yeah, they were awful movies, but i was mainly talking about the new 52 superman

[@bailaohu7819]

And pays dearly in the end....he really could/should learn a little from Batman lol.

[@fumarc4501]

Good Luthor is my favorite Lex. Actually using what he knows to help people.

[@ldiod4374]

I like him too, he's still got that arrogant and manipulative attitude, but now he's using it for the greater good.

[@thomasdamson6678]

Yeah me too, in Smallville, when Lex was good, that was cool, i kinda hoped they could stop him from turning to the "darkside"

[@videtowitelpavo]

FUmarc what if the lex who turns in darkside i the original Pre-crisis lex, or even THE lex

[@salastan]

FUmarc They can pull a pre-52 Lex. I like this Lex.

[@fumarc4501]

What will be will be, until then; Lex Luthor is the DC Tony Stark.

[@TheRealRehman]

damn, Superman and Action Comics has been on point since Rebirth.

[@brendondellinger355]

Now this is the Superman I know and love. Love the art style, love the action and love the story. I've always been more of a Marvel fan but man, DC is kicking Marvel's butts in terms of comics XD

[@laoimmanuel]

Brendon Dellinger Sadly they're losing when it comes to movies. Here's hoping though.

[@GuyLogen]

I just want some of these guys to actually get together and form their own official DC studios so that we comic/superhero fans don't have to watch the crap that Zack Snyder his team puts out with their interpretations of these DC characters.

[@brendondellinger355]

Stef Tep I don't hate Zack Snyder per se, when it comes to action he's freaking amazing, just watch the warehouse scene in Batman vs. Superman. However I don't think he's that great of a storyteller when it comes to comics since he has a unique idea of what the superheroes should be. His representation of Superman isn't very good. Keep in mind, I had no problem with Superman killing Zod in Man of Steel, in my opinion, Superman had no other choice and made the right decision. Zod had killed thousands and was going to kill more. There was no way to stop him since no one knew what Kryptonite was at the time, it makes sense to me. However Superman killing normal humans is ridiculous even if they are terrorists. The whole point of Superman is that he's not supposed to be relatable but someone we can look up to, to aspire to be. He's very similar to God in that sense and his story is still the same. He had unlimited power and can do impossible things his true battle isn't against the opponents he faces but against himself, to hold back that raw power even when he really wants to use it. That one scene in Man of Steel when it showed Clark as a kid getting bullied and wanting to do nothing but fight back shows what makes Superman so great. Even with all his power he chooses to do the right thing no matter how great or small the situation is. I believe Henry Cavill is a great pick to play Superman but in BvS they did a piss poor job at showing what Superman represents by trying to make him relatable. He's not relatable he's something above us, he's Superman.

Brendon Dellinger Except he didn't kill that terrorist in Nairomi if you refer to him. 1)there was no blood when he "smacked" him, even in R-rated version, and no other than Zack has a thing for such details he couldn't kill him by superfast grabbing, because previously in MoS he caught a falling pilot at the same speed and he was more than fine AND because it's Superman's passive ability from nuance of his flight mechanism 2)he didn't kill Lex, even more he saved him 3)if you think Snyder and especially writers who clearly adressed Clark's deep regret for taking someone's life in previous film will just say "ah,fuck it" than you just didn't understand point of killing Zod in first place I think they did pretty iconic job with Superman doing his job, but getting backlash from a public faces. It is especially relevant to modern times.

[@brendondellinger355]

Stef Tep I think you misunderstand me when I was talking about Superman killing Zod. I actually thought it was a good scene and fit his character. However you cannot expect me to believe that terrorist he flew through the wall survived. That man got hit by Superman flying faster than a car and he got rammed through two walls of solid brick with no padding whatsoever. If that terrorist survived then it's a miracle. Also I never once talked about Lex Luthor or Superman killing him.

[@comicstorian]

Boom a long one, this story was epic

[@jacobgabel60]

Comicstorian This story was epic!

[@superpowner4250]

Comicstorian i love you

[@flashrider4225]

Comicstorian

[@cetidal29]

Comicstorian keep those vids coming! you are a great story teller! Thank you!

[@mrwatermalon3839]

Who is green deadpool

[@Noname-ut1ye]

I am not really a big superman fan but I sure am digging him in rebirth. so damn good.

[@johnlawful2272]

No name aqua man too

[@Zerro-]

I've never been a fan of superman, but I couldn't help but smile at the last panel

[@pranjalbudhrani366]

Zerro same

[@mirzaarslanbaig2949]

Its feels kidna obvious as its seems for all people who didnt like superman as a character. who does not get him or how he works. why do you ask? same complains again and again like he is too powerful!! or too goody goofy!! or how to make interesting story around him? ITS IMPOSSIBLE I TELL U IMPOSSIBLE!!! BAD SUPERMAN BAAAD!! sorry for the tangent over there but proven again by good writers like mark waid, grant morision, geoff johns & peter tomasi and others to name a few that he can work becos how many times people harp on him like any other character in comics there is no such thing as a bad character just a badly written one.

[@bailaohu7819]

Likewise...I at first was a bit put off by the whole family man thing because children are rarely beneficial in entertainment-they are often just a hamper and burden to the adults (or they do some dbz bullshit and have a 12 year old being more powerful than battle hardened 30 year olds)...but this....this I am warming up to.

[@TevyaSmolka]

This story in my opinion was everything that civil war 2 failed to do I love it plus Jon and pre 52 superman and pre 52 Lois Lane are so awesome

[@GuyLogen]

Civil War 2 seemed liked it just escalated a similar situation way to much. Also there was no reason for all of the Marvel superheros to be involved with such a quarrel. It just seemed like because the MCEU has been so popular so far that they had to include them all into a comic book and what better way to do it then to make them fight each other again for very little reason.

[@TevyaSmolka]

i agree with that one hundred percent because frankly this civil war 2 shouldn't even exist period

[@rafiqputera]

at first i was wondering why did you compare those 2 stories then i realized that the plot are kinda the same. but civil war 2 escalates the tension out of proportion with a lot of heroes suddenly fighting, it felt rushed.

[@notinterested3555]

Tevya Smolka is that ozymandias in the bottom left pic of the vision in 17:35

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@notinterested3555 well at the time i thought it was Ozymandias but nope it turned out to be mr oz

[@sillybillybob123]

Woah, can it be? Starting to kinda believe that "S" stands for Hope! Great story, great video, thanks Comicstorian!

[@batboyshark]

How does Lois look SO DAMN FINE. And has a 10 year old son?

[@glenroyhodge5892]

What up

[@batboyshark]

glenroy hodge Yo. Nothing much just surfing the web.

[@glenroyhodge5892]

Nice

[@KEVMAN7987]

BatBoyShark She's been keeping fit with Clark's old weight set? The crappy one he pretended to use to explain his muscles.

[@kyleshea384]

Ever looked at Keanu Reeves? Maybe Lois is like Keanu

[@thebaronspencer]

Man, I'm loving this story. There was a time when I thought it was near impossible to tell a superman story that I could get behind, but this series is proving me wrong. Thank you so much Comicstorian for bringing these tales to life. I appreciate all that you do, and am so glad that you continue to do this.

[@bengates9722]

Meanwhile, at the legion of doom....

[@bengates9722]

Also, benny(great name by the way), are you going to do watchmen and before watchmen?

[@LordMelusar]

My personal hope is that this Lex proves to be better than his pre-52 version and doesn't become Darkseid's successor. I know it's a long shot, but I'm hoping that it is an alternate Lex from the main one that tries to become Darkseid's successor if that truly is the future and that the main Lex and pre-52 Superman team up to beat him. Lex being a (relatively) good guy enables them to explore so much more with him and his ideology and show new aspects of what Lex CAN be, instead of just the power hungry, egomaniacal genius that we know and have seen time and again. Show us what a good Lex can do and become, show us what makes this Lex different from pre-52 Lex, show us what makes him *_better_*.

[@chinpo4520]

LordMelusar considering that DC is hauling in a lot of stuff from pre-flashpoint, I wouldn't be surprised if it's pre-flashpoint Lex that becomes the new darkseid.

[@Gullyszn]

Yes another great superman story

[@BlackOmegaEnt]

LOVED this story! I like how they showed Supes' and Lex's newfound respect for each other in the end.

[@omega5040]

I love Superman Rebirth

[@musiclover762]

you like Superman, I like Superman : post more Superman!

[@Wren4123]

Thank you for these videos Benny,!!! I definitely love your longer videos!

[@Ethan_The_Actor]

loving the clark white stories benny keep em coming my friend

[@sahilnadkarni9274]

Lex turned from the archenemy of Supes to his sidekick! I love this version of Lex cause he is so different and kinda lovable.

[@shouryasodhani3716]

You were so right. Both action and detective comics are absolutely amazing right now

[@boiamondo]

i agree about it being one of the best stories i've heard till now.

[@wingadept8793]

I have a feeling that the luthor that becomes Darkseid is Pre 52 Luthor.

[@KEVMAN7987]

Wing Adept And then both of Lex have to fight each other!

[@diegos7337]

Superman and Optimus Prime are my favorite Super heroes!!! And this stories are just AWSOME!!!

[@superman4u1985]

This Lex is just the calm before the storm...

[@frederickchua8579]

wow.. im amazed the way u do the story telling, keep up the good work..

[@jaylonwilliams5986]

the greatest Superman story I ever watch love it

[@AnanjayB]

One of the Superman best stories ever. Love the Rebirth Supes

[@victorortega3135]

AWESOME VIDEO do more story's on superman 😁

[@tonyrose823]

i think this lex is a good guy thanks for the good show man as always.

[@Mrdope1978]

I love this channel!!! DC may not be doing shit in the movie category but these comics are freakin amazing!

[@greenlanternhg5141]

I haven't seen Superman this good in years!

[@alexanderdescombes8624]

love your channel!! keep up the great work!

[@SinnerBeta]

Good Lex is one of my favorite things in comics for the past few years, wish we had some SuperLex stories where he's part of the Justice League. Hope he stays this way for some time now and if he reverts to the old status quo it won't be because "muahaha, it was all a ruse" but some actual good reason. Still, I want an evil Lex so I hope the pre52 Lex will return somehow and fight the pre52 Superman while SuperLex fights his sister, the Ultra Woman.

[@LordMauMiau]

I'm not really a fan of Superman, but this storyline is amazing, I love the new Lex and the skilled Supes, thank you for bringing this to my attention!

[@Louves118]

this was really good. thanks dude

[@FlamingNinja]

Plot twist: Mysterious Clark steals Alex's power armour and ends up serving Darkseid.

[@DP-eh6pd]

I wish comic could read them self with your vocie

[@JoseRoberto-qg3gl]

4:42 I thought he would say "Godspeed"

[@Savagewolver]

I'm gonna say it, I want this Lex to stay the way he is. True, it would take some getting used to having him as a good guy, but look at it this way. This is a different Lex. His history may be different, and he may not have the need to feel superior as his past incarnations have. What's more, it's a good way to make the story go forward as opposed to the usual rut comic books tend to follow. I like this story, and thank you comicstorian for your service.

[@symonsybico12]

8:45"those crimes you speak of,I would never do something like that"...thinks back to what happened before forever evil

[@PlsDontReadThis123]

Ooo this was good. Do more please.

[@biohazard724]

"Mysterio Clark" is Cyborg Superman and implants a device that mind controls Lex into Classic Lex.

[@denzellmovies]

I doubt it. Superman already did all sorts of tests on this mysterio Clark to figure out what his deal was, and he just seemed like a normal human being. Also, Hank Henshaw appeared as himself at the end of the latest Action Comics issue, and I believe the new 52 version of Cyborg Superman is currently appearing in Supergirl's Rebirth series.

[@bartdman95]

Hello there. :) Did you make a mistake sir? at 0:54 you said "Pre-Crisis". should it be "Post-crisis"? Thank you. Keep up the good work. I always visit your wonderful channel almost everyday of the week. :)

[@JosephAland]

The term "pre-crisis" refers to characters and storylines appearing prior to Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985. The Lois and Clark appearing in Rebirth are properly termed post-crisis or pre-Flashpoint.

[@Y.171]

Love your videos man 💯

[@THerculez]

This was a really good story please dc make more good superman books

[@jamcalx]

DC's response to Civil War 2. I think lex may be forced to do what orion did in kingdom come in order to keep apocalypse at bay as a reluctant "God King" and that the mother box superman was holding could have been given to him.

[@RogueCrocodile]

JamcalX I feel like DC's response to civil war 2 should just be silence and crickets.

[@alexmansfield3268]

Ginger Twerk they don't really need to respond civil war 2 kinda ruined itself before dc could do anything

[@thetalon3702]

there is no DCs response to civil war it was marvel who response to kingdom come btw cw 2 was garbage

[@richardsantos5586]

amazing new dynamics for "old" characters

[@seanwilliams9280]

keep the superman videos coming

[@DaPradaGap]

keep up the good work

[@ryanbelcher25rb]

17:33 CYBORG SUPERMAN!!!!!

[@SaydeDoesDnD]

Action Comics, phenomenal as ever!

[@socialaccount0000]

I feel Lex will try and resist the path he's going on (the one where he becomes Darkseid) and either A. He becomes the new Darkseid to save someone or something or B. He tries his best not to become the new Darkseid and he orders Superman to either stop or kill him, and then Lex becomes the new Darkseid and starts Fucking shit up

[@fireflame62]

the artwork is on point

[@ragelorenz2776]

I luv this one. actually felt like a movie..

[@theboss181000]

superman is bomb and so is batman rebirth is so good

[@DrachenPrime]

Comicstorian, why do you remove the text from the pages? Is youtube really getting you for that? :D

[@Zadap]

Feels weird to have a villain have your name

[@Zadap]

Well not really a villain but the point is still across

[@luismanon5110]

i agree with lex luthors ideal as a man becoming the new superman. he isnt to be trusted but this will recreate alot of trust among the people and prevent any other crisis from occuring.

[@paperchasing4261]

I feel like this story told us a lot about what's going on now and what's going to happen in the near future

[@NATEEEExD]

Hey Benny, do you think you'll cover the Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps stories? Much love and appreciation!

[@castelox9996]

just amazing can't wait

[@vinnyzuelan2130]

I've always been a fan of DC but they are extremely good right now

[@WinglessAngelic]

this was fantastic

[@yas6156]

Mysterio Clark, my new fav ver of Supes'

[@shamanfryd]

You know I would love to see good guy Lex go on for quite a while. Then maybe an alien attack and see him twist into the Dr Doom style Lex where it is earth 1st everyone else 2nd. Then finally the heroes "betray" him somehow leading him to take on the mantel of Darkside in order to have enough power to take them all on. Honestly this I have seen this kind of story before but if done right it is a great way to make you feel for the bad guy and sympathize with them while also knowing the heroes need to beat them.

[@larnizzo91]

Haven't finished this vid yet but I gotta say I like superman and lex hating each other while working together

[@footmotion]

another awesome story

[@deesix3504]

Lex has always been deserved to be a good guy

[@lag2hard947]

Great just great video plz,reply I'm a fan

[@fantasyconnect]

Screwed Ninja Kai_Ninja?

[@Meganonr1]

I hope the mysterious hooded figure who let Doomsday loose is the evil Lex from Pre-Flashpoint. Maybe he managed to stay in existence during Convergence as well somehow? I just wanna see Evil Lex vs Good Lex!

[@michaelmacleod6517]

I love this version of Lex Luthor. Action Comics and Superman have ben where it's at for me.

[@wesamalbdour4605]

finally a good video

[@fireninjawizard709]

I love this comic. For my 17th birthday I actually got a mail subscription too two comics of my choice and I chose Thor and Action Comics, At the time the new female Thor run had just started and I loved it, not this story line for Superman is going on and I love it just as much. I'm a Marvel fanboy but THIS is how marvel should have done their civil war story.

[@princephillips7410]

Action comics are the best right now totally agree

[@TheLegend-os4xx]

I really hope lex stays the good guy man, it's always nice to have a 2nd person with the intelligence of Batman on the good side

[@Teamo86]

I love when writers get Superman right. Rebirth was amazing.

[@eman216]

This story was awesome

[@davidakinbo3454]

Hi comicstorian my name is David. am a big fan. could you make a playlist for all your videos on rebirth??? I would really appreciate it. thank You!!!!

[@stevenado1467]

tht iron fist ad was so sick

[@se3saw]

this was awesome

[@KeijiMaeda86]

I think Lex's extended use of the mother box will end up corrupting him. That or the effects of the Omega Sanction will cause him to go evil. I know at the end of Darkseid War the Omega Sanction power were taken from him by the baby Darkseid but its possible there are residule effects or that Lex undergoes the process again on Apocalypse. I'm hoping whatever becomes of that story it is epic as hell and that Lex in the end repents and continues to be a good guy. SuperLex has been the best reverse heel turn I've seen in comics in a loooooong time. Yeah there's Harley, Deathstroke, Poison Ivy, and even Clayface in TEC now but none of those story arcs even come close to how great Lex Luthor's have been since Forever Evil started him down the righteous path. Something about all the heroes doubting him and he constantly blowing away their expections is very satisfying.

[@conormclaughlin1465]

Hi comicstorian I think your so awesome

[@humanseekingtruth6080]

Thank you!

[@Lexadin]

Wow, this was an actually good Superman story. Well done writers, didn't know it could be done.

[@kaihedgie]

You don't read comics, do you

[@ChadBenjamin]

Yeah, this was probably the first Superman story that this guy checked out. There have been tons of Superman stories better than this one.

[@dixonb.tweenerlegs4225]

Lol I just thought this story was "Okay". There's a lot better Superman stories out there than this one.

[@kmcd6140]

Point of clarity - I've heard this channel refer to this Superman as the "pre-Crisis" and as the "Pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths" Superman. Is this the guy that was originally "killed" by Doomsday? The guy whose incubation pod landed in Kansas and actually birthed him on American soil (actually into Jonathan Kent's arms, but w/e), making him a natural born USA citizen? One of, like, 4 or 5 people to last through Zero Hour and face evil Hal? Or is it the Silver Age Superman the was perfect in every way? (Seriously, that's how his outro book described him.) He seems like the dude that got split into 2 energy forms (red and blue, of course). Kept waiting for them to stitch him back together, but he was still my fav version of Supes. Not the energy split, just that Kal-El.

[@Jfireprime]

The dynamic between New 52 Lex and pre-Flashpoint Clark is really cool and interesting, and I want it to continue to develop, but as a comic fan I know that Lex will be evil again in two years.

[@glydoughnut9432]

Yo Benny +Comicstorian I'm watching this vid on the Superman playlist and there's 2 of this exact same video. There's also 2 videos of Superman VS Frankenstein can you fix that pls?

[@itsbrend88]

I love your videos never really been in your comics but I'm going start any suggestions where I should start I like flash batman and deathstroke

[@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570]

Liked this one. Read this story for yourself. There's certain things kind of misinterpreted like the rooftop battle for one. Also remember this is a BRIEF synopsis.

[@ReaperNationNetwork999]

This story reminds me of the Thor run with the godslayer, Desak. He wanted to stop Thor because of what he would become in the future.

[@wr654]

So DC told better in one story what Marvel's Civil Wars Two tried to tell in a whole event lol

[@falserizufferezek9394]

wr654 Civil War 2?

[@GuyLogen]

What was civil war 2 about?

[@falserizufferezek9394]

Logen M​ It was Iron Man vs Captain Marvel battling over an inhuman who can see the future. Since he can see into the future, Captain Marvel wanted to use this inhuman to jail people who commit crimes before they have been commited the crime yet. Iron Man disagreed and another Civil War broke out.

[@wr654]

Worst part is Ironman pretty much held the same stance Superman does and Captain Marvel beat him to ''death'' beacase of it

[@hewooks3300]

+wr654 It was his damn fault. Even Miles, kid he was trying to "save" told him to stop. She was trying to talk and Tony was trying to fight. STFU acting like IM is a saint.

[@se3saw]

this is awesome

[@ImaginatorJoren]

I kinda want Lex to be a good guy. All of the influence and the power, plus he wants to be a hero, but no secret identity! He's starting to become like Iron Man now that I think about it, only thing missing is the being captured by terrorists bit.

[@drewmeister11]

I always liked the idea of Lex becoming a hero, so this is a really good story for me. That said, I do believe that he will turn into a villain again before long.... that's just the status quo.

[@chilloutsteve]

You really need to do the Superwoman rebirth series and the supergirl series next!

[@AngelXO96]

Steve Albright supergirl is trash

[@Mecha82]

Mysterious Clark seems kinda evil based on his reaction to Lois lying to him.

[@theknightmonkey1461]

LOVE the new 52 Lex! Wish superman would stop being a hypocrite, he wants batman to trust him but he's holding an old grudge against lex.

[@victormungai99s]

If only the DCEU could do what DC comics does. Rebirth continues to show classic superheroes, in this case classic, moral Superman. Is any one watching?
